AS part of my Trumpeter 1/16 T34/85 build I've just picked up some Mission Models green paints for Russian vehicles (4Bo ,olive green and faded olive green), and I want to test them and the way they work on and old model before using them on the Big guy

I've got an old PZ3 I built years ago that I'm going to test on ,(good model crap hand painted camo job), I'm going to repaint it as a capture one,and I'm wondering about any markings the Russian would have used on captured vehicles - my googlefu seems to have failed me and I can't seem to find much.

@krasnov thanks for that , the site was one of the few sources I could find , probably one of the more esoteric things to try and find though ,Everyone knows about the Germans using captured gear but not the other way around!
